(#7) 'Are You Not Entertained?'
From Redditor /u/trancenental:
"Feral ducks are a massive issue for us. Lots of birds and water birds, and naturally migratory ducks, want to find a good place to post up and get free food. With that comes lots of baby ducks, who wander off into the darnedest of places away from their mothers.
A small group found their way into the Orangutan enclosure, and sh*t got disturbing pretty quick. Long story short, in front of a large group of guests, our alpha female picked one up and began to forcefully masturbate with it. In and out, in and out of her big, hairy, orange cooter, all the while she stares back blankly at the crowd that's gathered and is losing their minds. The alpha male, not to be outdone, scores himself a little duckling. But he ends it quick: he squeezes it until it pops in his hand, and he forcefully throws it into the glass barrier where the guests are, and its little dead body smears down the glass, streaking it. Little kids are now screaming and crying, and the male is in there like Russell Crowe, 'Are you not entertained?'"

(#18) Welcome To Dead Lobster
From Redditor /u/The-Dudemeister:
"I work in a restaurant not a zoo. However one little known fact is that the lobsters you see in the lobster tank are not fed. If one breaks one of his bands and manages to get his claws free, they'll generally start eating the other lobsters."

(#4) An IRL Duck Hunt
From Redditor /u/JackXDark:
"I won't name the zoo I worked at, but it's in the south of England. They're all about trying to let the animals seem to be in as natural an environment as possible, with a minimum of fencing or bars between them and the public. In some cases, that means putting ones that weren't likely to swim on small islands in large ponds, with covered bridges connecting back to their houses. It's fairly artificial, as there's an enclosure all around the outside, but it's carefully structured so that it gives the impression of openness.
But, essentially, what you've got, is monkeys (macaques, if I recall correctly, it's been a while) on an island in a large pond. So, of course, you get water birds landing on the pond. They're wary of the monkeys and don't tend to go on the island, but one day, a couple of the monkeys have been stashing some of their dinner, and they sit at the side of the pond, throwing the food to the ducks.
A crowd of school kids gather. I stopped to watch too.
'Aaawww, lookit da cute monkeys feeding the duckies...' I think you can see where this is going.
These two monkeys are luring the ducks onto their island. Stupid ducks, of course, think that the monkeys are just acting like stupid humans do (even though they're not supposed to), so they venture onto the island.
Another couple of the monkeys have been waiting in ambush to the side, and the first duck hops onto the island and has some more monkey food... Seems legit, so a second and then a third duck follow. As soon as there is an even number of ducks and monkeys who are in on the plan, the scene changes. The monkeys run in at great speed, grab their ducks, rip their heads off, and howl in victory, like a predator that's just taken a spine.
What happens next is that the schoolkids all burst into tears (and a couple of the duck heads were thrown their way too, exacerbating the horror), and the rest of the troupe of monkeys notice what's happened, so they launch themselves at the hunter-monkeys and everything degenerates into a terrible scene of flying feathers and blood, screaming schoolchildren, and monkey-on-monkey violence that seemed to include more mounting and humping than hitting or biting.
I had to write a report up about this, which some of the zoologists got very excited about. There was also a fence put around the island."

(#17) Birth In Reverse
From Redditor /u/Shastarooski:
"We were at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha looking at the mongoose exhibit. One of them was giving birth. If that wasn't an interesting enough experience, another mongoose grabbed one of the babies (as it was 'entering the world') and I thought 'Oh, how sweet; that one is taking it to a safe place.'
NOPE. Ripped it's head off and ate it. Man, mongoose don't mess around."

(#2) Little Hunt On The Prairie
From Redditor /u/Whiptail:
"My lecturer told us that about a decade ago in the local zoo a prairie dog exhibit was set up beside the cheetahs. Apparently the prairie dogs tunneled their way into the next exhibit and the cheetahs would sit by the holes waiting for a head to pop up."

(#3) Timing Like A Hawk
From Redditor /u/slimpickens42:
"At Disney World they used to release doves at the end of their Beauty and the Beast stage show. They had to stop when the local hawks had figured out the show's schedule and decided to come have a snack after each show."
